Description

Littauer Suture Scissors are a basic instrument used for suture removal. These scissors have a small hook shaped tip on one blade that slides under sutures to slightly lift them before cutting for removal. This hook also holds the suture so it does not slip off the blade of the scissors prior to cutting. Littauer suture scissors typically have larger, less delicate tips than Spencer Stitch Scissors, and are often used for removing larger sutures. They should not be used for cutting tissue. This product is straight with smooth, blunt/blunt tips and a length of 4-1/2 inches. It is a disposable, floor-grade instrument sold in boxes of 100.

Frequently asked questions

Does the hooked tip simplify suture removal?

Yes, the specialized hook-shaped tip is designed specifically to slide effortlessly beneath sutures. This lifts and holds the thread securely in place, effectively preventing slippage and allowing for a clean, precise cut every time.

Are these scissors safe for patients with latex allergies?

Absolutely. The Econo Sterile Plastic Littauer Suture Scissors are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for use in clinical settings where patients may have latex sensitivities.

Is the stainless steel blade construction durable?

Yes, these instruments feature high-quality stainless steel blades. While they are designed as a cost-effective, floor-grade disposable solution, the material ensures the blades maintain the sharpness necessary for efficient suture removal.

Do these provide a consistent sterile environment?

Yes, each pair arrives pre-sterilized. By using these disposable instruments, medical facilities can maintain high standards of aseptic technique and eliminate the time and costs associated with reprocessing and sterilizing reusable equipment.

Can I use these for cutting tissue during procedures?

No, these are strictly intended for suture removal only. They are engineered with a specific hook-tip geometry meant for lifting and cutting thread; they should not be utilized for cutting biological tissue.

Are the finger rings comfortable for long shifts?

The scissors feature an ergonomic finger-ring handle configuration. This design is focused on providing clinicians with optimal control, stability, and comfort during the delicate process of removing sutures.

How are these packaged for clinical use?

These scissors come in a bulk package containing 100 units per box. Each unit is individually sterile-packaged to ensure it is ready for immediate clinical use upon opening, supporting efficient workflows in busy departments.

Are these compliant with TAA regulations?

Yes, the Econo Sterile Plastic Littauer Suture Scissors are TAA compliant, meeting the requirements for procurement in government and various institutional medical facilities.

Is the design lightweight for precision tasks?

Yes, the construction combines a lightweight plastic handle with surgical-grade steel blades. This balance creates a minimalist, low-weight tool that reduces hand fatigue while maintaining the maneuverability required for precise suture removal.

Do these pair well with other medical kits?

These scissors are highly versatile and pair perfectly with standard suture removal kits or comprehensive medical dressing sets. They are a staple addition for outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and surgical suites.
